Stethoscope Sentiments: Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine of Rowan University

Surprise a future veterinarian with words of encouragement, pride, humor, or wisdom!  

With a gift of $75 (or more), you can honor one of the 75 students in our inaugural class by submitting a personalized note. Your message will be digitally displayed during the Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine's Inaugural Class Welcome Ceremony, and the student will receive a printed keepsake after the event.

This special milestone marks the official start of their veterinary journey. Each student will be presented with a stethoscope, symbolizing their commitment to animal health, compassionate care, and life-long learning—celebrating both their achievements and the support that helped them get here.

Your gift will directly impact future veterinarians through the Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine General Scholarship, providing much-needed scholarship support to help them succeed.

With your help, we can reach our goal of 75 notes—one for each incoming student. 

Join us in inspiring the next generation of veterinarians!
